advent calendar day 10 - can we call it a recession yet

this one's in honour of partner's occupation. financial collapse can be funny, too!!

advent calendar day 9 - wow wow wubbzy

ive been meaning to blog about my love for wow wow wubbzy and now ive got a perfect excuse.

i love wubbzy cause:

1. wubbzy is gender neutral. ze's yellow and while i guess technically male, they really dont make a big deal about it.
2. walden is done by carlos alazraqui from reno 911, which makes me giggle.
   
3. widget (the girl character) loves tools and building
4. the songs are awesome. even buddytwo has started singing "dont lie." they're the only words he knows but oh well.
5. the picture above. that little boy's parents are totally awesome for making their son that costume
   

advent calendar day 7 and 8

sundays have turned into "screen-free" day (besides very basic e-mail checking and if we need to find something) so i didnt get to do the advent calendar. kinda forgot to do the boys' real life ones as well. whoops. so you folks get a two-fer.




i remember seeing these when i was pregnant with buddyone. i think they only had 6 or 7 of them at the time. they've really expanded.

who thought mono could be so cute?

advent calendar day 6 - cake wrecks

ive never linked over to cake wrecks, often because i usually forget it's there for months at a time. check out the christmas wrecks as well as the archives. guaranteed to make spit out your coffee at your 'puter screen.

advent calendar catch-up, kitty edition

day one - meet crassus.

last saturday morning we discovered this guy sleeping on our patio furniture. unlike the other ferals, he brushed us off when we tapped on the glass. when he finally got up just before sun set, i noticed he was incredibly skinny - even for the possible siamese in him. his hips looked stiff and his coat just hung on him. with all the empty rentals and houses that have been for sale for months, i have to wonder if he was a "foreclosure"- somebody rented a house only to find a half starved cat left in it and let it go to whatever fate it had in store. ive never seen him before and even the ferals im not feeding have plenty of fat on them (see the next picture for comparison).

day two - meet marius.

i took this picture from our bedroom window - the first time i saw him there, he must have heard us and ran off. he's sitting on our patio furniture - must be very popular. buddytwo (who i wanted to name marius) loves him. even now, he goes to the window and says "mar-is. mar-is." this is one of the resident cats in the colony.

day three. my babies.

i finally caught them being snuggly and the camera was charged/had space.

enjoy the warm fuzzies.

advent calendar day five - chung chung

on a sesame street kick.

advent calendar day 4 - i'll be in my office

i meant to start this on monday but got sidetracked. every day before christmas there will be some sort of "gift" post.

enjoy
